Biology
Irewig has the appearance of a centipede with a dark blue chitin and a yellow underbelly. His face, four arms and legs are orange, and has glaring eyes with light-blue sclera and sharp teeth with two prominent red fangs. He has red antennae that are somewhat jagged close to the end ands and an orange pincer-like pair of legs that with red tips on his tail. He also has red feet and straw sandals.
Irewig has a fierce and wild personality, which he passes onto the victims he Inspirits.
Anyone Inspirited by this Yo-kai becomes easily ticked off and prone to bursting into angry rants about even small, insignificant grievances. In the anime, Irewig does so by using the two legs on his tail to pinch his victims, making them angry.

Etymology
- "Irewig" is a portmanteau of ire (anger) and earwig.
- "Scoltine" is a portmanteau of "scorpion" and "coltine" (put up with)
Origin
Irewig is based on the mukade or oomukade, a youkai born from the Asian red-headed centipede. Aggressive and with a painful bite, much like the actual centipede, it only differs for its massive size. Its weakness is human saliva.
Trivia
- Despite being a Yo-kai based on a centipede, translated ports and dubs name it after an earwig or even a scorpion.
